Good morning everyone,

My ADR window will open in less than 1 month (for late august 14 nights stay). I am trying to plan but this is stressful, especially because I'll be on my own to do this, and will have to used my mobile phone :( . Here are my plans :

60+0 – nothing (late arrival)
60+1 – Tusker House (Breakfast), T-Rex (before Cirque du Soleil @8:00, would 6:30 be fine?)
60+2 - Droid depot, Savi’s lightsaber, Oga’s cantina, SCI-FI dinner (or 60+7 or 60+11)
60+3 – Garden Grill (breakfast or Cape May Breakfast)
60+4 - Ale&Compass (breakfast)
60+5 – Yak&Yeti (lunch or dinner)
60+6 – Toppolinos (breakfast) – YC cabana (day)
60+7 Droid depot, Savi’s lightsaber, Oga’s cantina, SCI-FI dinner (or 60+2 or 60+11)
60+8 Trattoria al forno (breakfast or Cape May (breakfast), MK Dessert Party
60+9 Garden Grill or Cape May Breakfast (breakfast, depending on 60+3 and 60+8) Rose & Crown FW
60+10 Wild Afrika Trek, Beaches & Cream (dinner)
60+11 Droid depot, Savi’s lightsaber, Oga’s cantina, SCI-FI dinner (or 60+2 or 60+7)
60+12 Space 220 (Lunch or dinner), Teppan Edo (lunch or Dinner)
60+13 BoG (Lunch)
60+14 Trattoria al forno (breakfast), airport mid-afternoon

For anything from 60+11 to 60+14, I'll have to to the ADRs day by day. I left all the most difficult ADR for the 60+11 to 60+14, except for HS "experiences" that I hope to grab on 60+2 or 60+7.

I'll be booking for 3 (2 adults, 1 child). Are there any ADRs which will be easier if I look for 4 people instead of 3?

I must admit that this whole process is already stressing me out...

Thank you,

I think there is an excellent chance you will get everything you want - I just did 60+ 8 for July and literally got everything I wanted including space 220 ( which I’m going to cancel) , SH71, beaches and cream , and sci fi. I didn’t even have to rush . Please note I don’t think garden grill has breakfast service yet
 
Thanks a lot, you are right, I need to move Garden Grill to Lunch! I hadn't noticed!

-removed original first paragraph...don't think I was correct-

As for 4 vs 3, with so many to get through on your ADR morning (and hard to get ones for your one day at a time ADRs), I would probably just try for 4 on all of them. The system sometimes doesn't like odd numbers and I wouldn't want to be delayed by having to try both. You can alway try to modify from 4 to 3 after. (And if that doesn't work, just leave at 4.)

Keep in mind that "enchanting extras" like Droid Depot and Savi's will open before restaurant ADRs- at either midnight or 5:30a.m. WDW time.

Thanks for your feedback! I'll keep an eye of those enchanting extras windows and will try with 4 and not 3.

Thank you,

I would push Sci-Fi, Space 220 (recommend the lounge over the dining room) and Topolino's as far into your stay as possible - if need be, can you switch out a Trattoria breakfast with Topolino's (60+8 or 60+14?)? I would put Sci-Fi on 60+11. You should be fine with Space 220 at 60+12.

I would do TRex sometime around 6:00 pm. You will need to walk over to Cirque and they do a really cute pre-show that I would recommend seeing - I would try to enter the theater no later than 7:30 pm.

Thanks a lot! I will update my plans with your recommendations!
 
I got almost everything I wanted at the times I wanted! I had revamped my plans according to the suggestions given here and also removed quite a lot of restaurants from my list to replace them with QS so we have more flexibility.

Thank you all for your help :)

I would not book Droid Depot on your ADR day. Wait for after you've gotten the restaurants. There is almost always space for Droid Depot even at 30 days.

Bumping this as I am looking to book Wild Afrika Trek on our trip in March. What time does the booking window open for it?

Thanks… but maybe you should inform Nappy1380 who originally resurrected this thread….. I was just replying with information that could help anyone wondering any of the same info. But thanks for replying to let me know! 😃 Glad you are using your time and effort so wisely.

I said I was bumping this as the original poster also wanted to book this. I suppose I'll just clutter with a new thread?
